I recently wrote a piece for Gamers’ Nation on games I feel have potential to become big eSports hits. Here’s a quick summary, along with a link to the full piece. … More Games with Massive eSports Potential

Halloween is funny. It’s the only day of the year where you can walk around half naked or in an extremely offensive costume and have people be chill with it. It also brings out the goofiness in many, like me. Since there aren’t many things in life that I take seriously, I always choose to go the silly route with my costumes, hence why I dressed as a horseman in 2011 and Drake in 2015. … More Being Luigi

Great music, sound effects, and voice acting are crucial components of a classic video game. However, in my experiences, I’ve found more enjoyment in turning on subtitles, muting the game sound, and spinning a record while I play.

While I do love Persona 5, no game is perfect. … More Cut the Crap: Game Length and the Modern Gamer

Holy smokes, Persona 5 is out of this world. To be fully transparent, I’m 70 hours into this masterpiece and have yet to finish. Although I’m only about two-thirds of the way through (I’ve heard many have finished around the 110 hour mark), I can confidently recommend this game to anyone looking for a unique, deep, and unabashedly creative JRPG.
